Đặng Thu Thủy, wife of late ACB chairman Trần Mộng Hùng and mother of current chairman Trần Hùng Huy, has been with Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (ACB) for 33 years, since the bank began operations in 1993. She spent 18 years in executive roles, including Chief of Office and HR director, and 15 years on the Board of Directors, and has been re-elected by shareholders through several terms, most recently 2023-2028. In 2012, when ACB needed a new chairman, she was among the candidates considered but declined, and Trần Hùng Huy was elected chairman at age 34. She rarely appears in the media, and most of her everyday images known to the public come from her son's personal social media page. The article does not explain why she declined the chairman role.

- Board Member Đặng Phan Tường Charged; Company Discloses Key Information
Tổng Công ty Thiết bị Điện Đông Anh (EEMC, ticker TBD) said its board will propose that shareholders dismiss board member Đặng Phan Tường at an extraordinary general meeting on 7 November, after the Investigation Police Agency under the Ministry of Public Security charged him. Under the Law on Enterprises, a person facing criminal prosecution is not eligible to sit on the board, so shareholders will also elect replacement directors for the 2026-2031 term. In the first half of 2026, EEMC posted net revenue of VND 1,111 billion, slightly higher year on year, but gross profit fell 15 billion to nearly VND 171 billion, and after-tax profit of over VND 66 billion was down 25%. Tường previously chaired the members' council of EVNNPT for 9 years, and the investigation into EVNNPT, PC1 and related units has so far led to 48 suspects being charged on 5 groups of offences, with the probe still widening.
- PLP Placed Under Trading Restriction, Chairman Sends Open Letter to Shareholders
HOSE moved PLP shares from the control list to the trading restriction list effective 23/10, because the company was more than 45 days late in filing its 2026 semi-annual reviewed financial statements. Chairman Lê Mai Thanh Phương had earlier sent an open letter to shareholders, attributing the delay mainly to a later-than-planned audit contract with the new auditor UHY, and said PLP aims to publish the statements in October 2026. The letter said nine-month revenue is estimated at 2.42 thousand billion VND, up 25%, with sales volume of about 3.6 million m2. The company also cited positive signals, including the SPC flooring plant being about 60% filled to design capacity and contracts with United Weaver and Flooring Partner, and said it sees the episode as a chance to tighten governance discipline and transparency.
- ACB General Director Từ Tiến Phát: Bank will also cut lending rates by 1.5–2% per year today
At the State Bank of Vietnam's meeting with top commercial bank executives on the morning of 19/10, ACB General Director Từ Tiến Phát said the bank would immediately implement the government's and central bank's directives. ACB will cut rates on its deposit rate table from today, effective the next day, and launch a special lending program reducing loan rates by 1.5% to 2% for businesses. He said its earlier program, a 1% rate cut, had disbursed about VND 5,000 billion so far. He described the central bank's warning that non-compliant banks could face reduced credit growth targets as a strong message that reinforces market discipline. He also expressed confidence that the State Bank will keep monetary policy flexible to support the system.
- Market Pulse 20/10: Heavy Pressure from Financial - Banking Stocks
- Bank Staff Push Last-Minute Deposits Ahead of Interest Rate Cuts
Following a State Bank of Vietnam directive to lower deposit rates, staff at many banks are pushing customers to deposit funds at the last minute before rates fall. The central bank requires banks to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage point for terms of 6 months and longer, or face tighter credit growth targets. The highest listed rate for 6-12-month terms hit 8% in August, up 2.5 percentage points year on year, while a VnExpress survey found 6-month rates at 8.5-9.2% a year. Since the directive, 15 banks have announced new deposit rate schedules, mostly cutting by 0.5 percentage point to below 7% a year for terms of 6 months and above. Some analysts say rates are near their peak and could ease from early 2027, though a quick reversal is unlikely as credit demand tends to rise toward year-end.

- The sorrow of Europe's “big brother” economy: Bonds keep selling off heavily after a “turbulent weekend”
French 10-year government bond yields rose 0.14 percentage points to 4.93% after a turbulent weekend, while the spread over German bonds returned to 1.47 percentage points. Nationwide protests over rising living costs and student education conditions turned into widespread rioting and looting; the government said at least 3,000 shops and businesses were looted, and the French retail federation estimated damages could reach “several hundred million euros.” More than 2,500 people are under formal investigation, 67 of them detained, and several cities have imposed curfews. President Macron rejected Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez’s resignation offer, even though Nuñez admitted police were deployed too thinly for protests of over 550,000 people, against an expected 200,000. Opposition politicians and the mayors of Paris and Marseille criticized the government for letting police lose control of the situation.
- President Donald Trump Claims, "We Don't Have Inflation, and Tariffs Don't Cause Inflation," but a New Report Strongly Disagrees
Although the stock market has posted strong returns under President Trump, the article argues his inflation-driving policies may be the biggest threat to the AI-driven bull market. A New York Federal Reserve report by three economists finds that by February 2026, tariffs had added 2.9 percentage points to goods price inflation, and each percentage point increase in average tariffs lifted consumer prices by about a quarter of a point after one year. Beyond tariffs, the Iran war and the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz have pushed fuel prices sharply higher, with fuel oil up 74.0% and gasoline up 34.2% over the past year, while overall CPI rose 3.7%. The article warns that persistent inflation could prompt the Fed to raise rates more aggressively, slowing AI infrastructure investment and sending stocks lower.
- Bitcoin ETFs just saw their biggest day in a month thanks entirely to BlackRock
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $526.6 million on Monday, the largest daily net inflow in nearly a month, driven entirely by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in $665.2 million, its biggest daily inflow since Oct. 7 last year, according to SoSoValue data. Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million and Grayscale's GBTC shed $54.9 million, while the remaining funds recorded no net flows. The inflow more than erased last week's $228.5 million of withdrawals, but funds remain about $90.5 million in net outflows for October, according to CoinDesk calculations. Ether funds moved the opposite way, losing $103.3 million in their fourth consecutive session of outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $95.4 million of that.
- A Big4 bank cut deposit rates in the morning, then raised them again in the afternoon
VietinBank cut its deposit rates for terms of 6 months and longer on the morning of Oct. 20, then restored them to pre-adjustment levels by the afternoon. Its afternoon rate board showed 3.5% per year for 6 to under 12 months, 5.9% for 12 to under 24 months and 6% for 24 months and longer, versus 3%, 5.4% and 5.5% in the morning. Rates for terms under 6 months stayed unchanged, including 2.1% for 1 to under 3 months and 2.4% for 3 to under 6 months. The move came as banks followed the State Bank of Vietnam's guidance to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 months and longer, and Vietcombank and Agribank were among those reducing rates.
- IVV vs. SPY: Which S&P 500 ETF Is the Better Buy for Long-Term Investors?
The article compares two ETFs that track the S&P 500, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which have nearly identical holdings. The main difference is the expense ratio: IVV charges 0.03% a year, one-third of SPY's 0.09%, and its distribution yield is about 1.1% versus 1% for SPY. SPY's high liquidity remains valuable for active traders. The article concludes that IVV is the better choice for long-term investors, since lower costs can compound over time.
